[edit]- ... that Mr Justice Orr granted George Blake's wife a decree nisi for divorce on the grounds that a conviction for treason can amount to cruelty?
Source: Roger Hermiston, The Greatest Traitor: The Secret Lives of Agent George Blake (Aurum Press, 2013), p. 237: "On 18 March news arrived, through the columns of The Times, that the divorce had finally been granted in his absence. The newspaper reported that Gillian had been granted a decree nisi because of Blake's 'cruelty'. Mr Justice Orr had made his judgement guided by a case heard in 1956 in which it had been ruled that 'conviction of a spouse for treasonable conduct may amount to cruelty or constructive desertion'".

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:24, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
